Bridgette Walshe

Bridgette has been in the industry since 2012. Blessed with natural talent, she was already ranking highly in makeup competitions even before receiving any formal training.

Later she decided to train at SRA, and sometime after earning her qualification was invited to start work at SRA in various support roles. Due to her talent as a makeup artist, Bridgette then graduated on to our teaching staff at first as a tutor's aid and then part-time educator.

After serving this apprenticeship Bridgette graduated to become SRA's full-time Fashion tutor, sharing her talents with our full-time certificate students. Finally upon the retirement of our previous Head Tutor Bridgette now leads our team of tutors. Bridgette’s career has taken her to NZFW, and she currently has various editorials published online and recently worked on New Zealand pop artist Stan Walkers ‘New Take Over’ music video. Bridgette’s specialty is a dramatic, fashion-forward eye.

She also has a gift for creating stunning face charts, many of which have been posted up around NZ as part of SRA’s marketing campaigns. Bridgette says she is “addicted to makeup, obsessed with art, and inspired by creative minds”. Bridgette’s students describe her as “Amazing, friendly and has expert skills”.
